Your not having much luck, go to Halfords and get some mole grips, they always come in handy anyway so it wont be a waste of money | |

They should be the same, the only way you'll get it off is mole grips really. Or hammer a socket onto it, get the size smaller than it should be and whack it on. | |

bugger, try some mole grips. Dont grip it too tightly though or you may crush it they are only soft metal. Then use a new nipple from your old calipers, dont put it back on | |

Make sure you give the bleed nipple's plenty of WD40 before you get started. They tend to snap of very easily, especially the rear ones. | |

you dont know if you have air in the rears, and even if you havent, its most likely got pish old fluid in it so run some clean stuff thru, dot 4 or above. | |

because it will flush the old brake fluid out of the system. over time brake fluid will develop tiny air bubbles, these make your pedal feel soft. I change my brake fluid once a year. | |

yes, do the rears as well. without a pressure kit it takes about an hour with an assistant. | |
